Bug! - It's a mostly 2D platformer (you use all 4 directins to walk around the areas) with the art in the style similar to Donkey Kong Country (3D looking environments) except maybe not as polished? 6 Worlds in total, 3 stages for each world with the last stage of each being a boss battle. it's also one of those games where you absolutely NEED to stock up on lives because this game doesn't mess around... tough as nails and you might get a Game Over or two before you start to get a hang on how to navigate the stages (lots of moving terrain, forks in the road that have more enemies, etc...)

Dark Legend - It's the US version of Suiko Enbu (jp) and Outlaws Of The Lost Dynasty (eu). A fighting game made by Data East after Karnov's Revenge (a.k.a. Fighters History Dynamite). Think Samurai Showdown meets Street Fighter. You start off with weapons (slow attack speed but huge damage) but you can either lose your weapon or get rid of it manually to fight with your fists (low attack damage, faster attack patterns including combos). Two characters in particular have familiars that can't be removed manually but get weak and dissappear like the rest of the weapons. Special attacks also change depending on if you have a weapon or not. Has some cool mechanics...

• knocking opponents into walls which you can then attack them from
• knocking opponents to the ground, making them bounce and then continuing the attack from the air
• Desperation moves when your health is low

There's an "updated" version thatis japan only, but it's also like a downgrade at the same time? You can play as the boss character and two fighters from Karnov's Revenge, but the vs screens and cutscenes are gone. Also the three brothers have their own stages, but the two Karnov characters don't. it's weird.

WAKU WAKU 7, one of the zaniest fighting games EVER MADE!!!

 

[Note]

I have to throw in another vote for Shining Force III and Shining the Holy Ark. Camelot did a fantastic job with both of these games. I played the original US SF III release, but I'd like to go play the fan translations of Scenarios 2 and 3 now.

Another fun strategy game to check out on the console is Dragon Force.

A good arena fighter I don't think was mentioned yet is Virtual-On: Cyber Troopers.

And I'll also throw in a vote for Galactic Attack/Layer Section, a fun shmup with awesome 2D graphics and a great soundtrack.
